There’s a lot going on in China right now. Heck, there’s always a lot going on in China. As one of the largest, most populous, richest, oldest, and most culturally unique countries in the world, China is constantly fighting for its position as a world superpower—battling with the likes of the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
But China, being China, operates so much differently than the rest of the bunch, especially the Western powers. Only China would replace streetlights by launching giant artificial moons into the sky that are eight times the brightness of the real moon. Of course, it doesn’t stop there. How about preventing its citizens from seeing Japanese cinematic masterpieces because of an inter-country rivalry? It could only be China. Or having one of your scientists conduct an extremely unethical experiment only to make him disappear when controversy arose? Again, China. Or throwing an author in prison for writing scenes that would be appropriate in any PG-13 movie? You don’t have to guess again.
The country is extraordinarily successful; so successful that it’s projected to be the top world superpower by the mid-21st century. The only thing holding China back from the limelight—the center stage of geopolitics—is the authoritarian nature of its government, which prevents its citizens from having the freedom that Westerners have. There are all kinds of civil rights violations happening as we speak, not just the persecution of scandalous writers and Japanese art, but of churchgoers, Muslims, and even iPhone retailers. Thus, from a Western perspectiv...

China is on its way to becoming a socialist world power. After a time of revolution and reform, the country is entering a new era.
As President Xi Jinping forges the path forward, a question remains: will the Chinese people continue to support him? At the Chinese Communist Party’s convention in fall of 2017, President Xi Jinping sent a clear message to the world: China is entering a new era. Many believe President Xi Jinping has brought the party back on track and has secured the support of the Chinese people. Speaking to delegates in October, Xi said it was time for the nation to be a global leader that could set an example on economic, political and environmental matters. Part of his plan for economic growth is Made in China 2025, an initiative that draws from Germany’s Industry 4.0 plan and aims to make advancements across many industries, including automotive, aircraft, pharmaceutical, and artificial intelligence.

The Chinese always seem to have something unexpected up their sleeve that the rest of the world can only gape at. Who replaced police dogs? Who can sit in a traffic jam instead of you? What to do if you don\'t have a boyfriend? We found a bunch of weird stuff most of us have never heard of that are actually a thing in China.

SUMMARY:
- In some parts of the country, geese are used as an aid in law enforcement. According to a Chinese police chief, geese are very vigilant and brave.
- A special unit of the People’s Liberation Army is training 10 thousand birds to deliver critical messages in emergency situations.
- The smog levels in China are extremely high, so manufacturers seriously sell cans of fresh air in several different flavors.
- When the Communist Party started ruling in China, they made the entire country live in a single time zone. The problem is that in some parts of the country the Sun doesn’t rise until 10 am!
- China’s housing market is so fast-paced that there are entire ghost-cities across the country. They have everything: roads, malls, apartment building, but no people.
- Some residents refuse to give up their place, and nobody can make them do it. You can l...

How is CHINA challenging the AMERICAN EMPIRE? - VisualPolitik EN

America is the 20th and 21st century’s empire. There is no region on the planet where America has not the strongest military presence, with bases on the most remote islands of the Pacific. This hegemony has created a landscape where no other country dares to attack American army. But this ‘Pax Americana’ could stop one day... at least on the Indian Ocean.
Since years, China has been building alliances with neighbouring countries to create a string of military bases. From South China Sea to Africa and Middle East, China is expanding their presence. Why? They need to guarantee their trade routes. They cannot take the risk of other countries like India blocking their supply of raw materials. This is why they need to have the military supremacy on this region. This is the so-called ‘String of Pearls’ project, A.K.A. the Maritime Belt and Road Initiative.
And, as you can imagine, this is one of Washington’s main concerns. Why? Why is this a threat to America? In this video, we will answer to those questions.
